HENLEY HISTORIC ROWING REACH CODE OF WATER PRACTICE RULE OF THE RIVER The rule is keep to the right; that is crews (and scullers) proceeding downstream from Henley Bridge to Hambleden Lock keep to the Berks (Clubs) side, and those coming upstream from Hambleden Lock toward the Bridge keep to the Bucks (Town) side. Temple Island is always passed to the right. NOTE Special rules apply during the Royal Regatta and are advised separately. Crews being overtaken have a duty to stay clear but must take care not to stray into the centre of the river particularly when coming upstream.
BOATING Crews should always boat facing upstream and have a duty to avoid those coming downstream (See also Henley Bridge). Particular care must be taken when crossing to and from the Bucks (Town) side to gain access to or leaving club landing stages, and crews coming downstream have right of way at all times. TURNING AND CROSSING There are three designated turning areas: 1. At the New Street Public Slipway 2. Between the bottom of Temple Island and the Gate, 3. At the 3.000 metre marker (White Cottage boathouse). Under no circumstances may crews turn around or below the Danger board at Hambleden Lock. Crews turning, particularly at Temple Island and the New Street slipway, must take care to avoid other boats already on passage, especially those on set work pieces. There are two designated crossing points: 1. At Upper Thames Rowing Club, and 2. At Leander Club. Crews crossing to and from Club rafts have an absolute duty of care to avoid other craft particularly at Henley Bridge, see below.. HENLEY BRIDGE Counting from the Berkshire bank crews coming downstream should use arch 2 and going upstream arch 4. The centre arch should always be left clear for cruiser traffic. Crews leaving the Leander raft must always ensure that the river is clear for them to do so and likewise when crossing from the Bucks side to the raft.
LIGHTS Between dusk and dawn, boats must carry a white bow and stern light. Red stern lights are NOT permitted (on water a red light is a portside light).
